HTTP Server hidden into wasservice.exe...

Hello,

A provider installed us WAS 6.1 base package on a standalone windows 2003 configuration. He tells me that he installed IBM HTTP server but i can't see
- any IBM HTTP server in the Windows services list
- any httpd.conf file on the server
- any webserver in the webserver list into the administation console

The only processes i have are WASservice.exe and the java.exe JVM

When i get back to my provider with those informations he tells me that the http server is "hidden" into wasservice.exe

Question : is that possible ? if yes, how can i control/manage that http server apart (ie. stop/start/status etc?.) ?

Thanks a lot

If there's no httpd.conf, IHS is not installed.

Hi, The IHS server does not have to be installed to use a Windows' Service. Do you have an install directory? You can go to "IHS_HOME/bin/apachectl -k start" to start the web server.

In fact, i've got no IHS directory : it looks like there is no http server but the application is working : urls http://*.do mapped to a servlet...can this work without any http server installed ???

Yes, this can work. Your installer must have setup the web container to
listen on port 80.
